It's just the kind of afternoon the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would enjoy: a taxi to the park to walk their dog, and drinks and lunch in the pub.

But despite appearances, the smiling, loved-up couple pictured enjoying a stroll around London in these snaps are not the real Harry and Meghan.

Actors working for Madame Tussauds in Baker Street, London, donned eerily realistic waxwork heads of the newlywed Duke and Duchess for a walk in Battersea Park in south-west London and a pub lunch in Fulham on Wednesday, that must have caused quite a few passers-by to double take.

The waxwork Meghan wore one of the real Duchess's favourite casual outfits: a French-tucked white linen shirt and dark blue high-waisted denim jeans, with her trademark long wavy dark hair let down.

It was paired with a brown leather bag the real Meghan Markle would also sport.

The fake Prince Harry meanwhile sported a typical collared blue shirt tucked into dark blue jeans with a brown belt, a broad smile etched onto the waxwork face.

They were walking a real Beagle, as the real Meghan has a hound of the same breed called Guy that lives with the happy couple in Kensington Palace.

They then proceeded to the Sands End pub in Fulham, a watering hole the royal couple have been known to frequent.

The actors wearing waxwork heads were showing off Madame Tussauds' new 'live figures' feature, which allows members of the public to have realistic encounters with the royal couple. 

The lifelike figures were first unveiled on Britain's Got Talent earlier this year, and this month, the Baker Street visitor attraction launched 'Meghan and Harry LIVE' to allow guests to feel as if they are really meeting the Duke and Duchess in person. 

It is thought the realistic effect is achieved by two actors sporting wigs and waxwork heads they slip on over their real faces.
